I have been building up my R33GTST sedan for a few years now, its recently had an RB26 & manual conversion and just this week a single turbo/injectors (Trust TD07 & sard 700cc) upgrade and goes in for tuning to matt spri @ PITS next week. So after this is done and ive had a bit of fun with it i am looking at selling it on but i dont know what i should be asking. I have made a gallery with some pics .... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ga...-album2709.html

Would anyone be interested in sharing their thoughts on its resale value? i can do up a detailed list of all modifications if anyone is willing to take the time to review it.

Cheers.

The kit and wheel is not to my taste. But others might like it.

Nice color thou.

Which year and series?

Any other work done to the engine? If not, I'd say about 18k - 20k max.

With a rebuilt motor, probabaly a little bit more.

the wheels arent my thing really either but they were a steal at a grand with rubber & the kit well being 4 door there is not much available, that had to modified to fit as it was. Its 1993 series 1 ..

The engine is stock except for the work ive just done, its running power FC and a few bits (intercooler, fuel pump, cam gears etc)

Id strip it down and sell off the parts, would probably get a little less money but would be easier then trying to sell it to someone who would drive that over compensated lollypop-mobile.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but then again some people have a fetish for animal porn or grannies.

haha i guess everyone has their opinion and im not scared of some negative feedback, but if we could keep it to helpful replies it would be appreciated.

Jst making some fun man, i went through my stage of 'flasshy' as well (bout the same time i bought my first pink polo top)

Try popping it on carsales.com for a few months and after that, try parting it out!

yea its all good, i have the unique ability of being able to laugh at myself, i figure if you cant laugh at yourself you probably deserve it. I guess the car ended up the way it has because i know people in the car audio/bodyworks industries .. if i had more mates in the performance areas things could have turned out a lot differently but as it is to get any sort of decent performance work its a 2 hour drive to brisabane or 3 hour drive to the goldcoast ..

It'll be worth more stripped in parts.

You'll be lucky to get over 25k for that as it is IMO. Stock RB26, which will die eventually, and actually brings the engine bay down because its a typically worn looking RB26. If it has a decent spray on the covers, plenum etc it might help a bit with its appearance.

Also because of the colour in all honesty, its not for everyone so you'll have to wait around for a buyer with something that focused etc... longer you wait, the more money you loose on it all so you bite the bullet or have a deeper side pocket.

Strip it now, put a stocker RB25, rip out the stereo etc etc then sell it up with just the bodykit and the spray.

says the popsicle who runs his car around at night with the bonnet popped on the secondary - go figure......

mate it will appeal to someone I am sure, looks pretty neat and as long as the 26 and manual conversion was done correctly and the motor is strong, someone will give you pretty good money for it. I would agree that you would need to look pretty hard at offers close to the $20k mark as good money.

GL with the sale

The engine has just all been cleaned up, while the turbo was being fitted i had the covers/plenem painted, fitted aluminium radiator, silicon hose kits, cam gears/clear cam cover .. so in all the bay doesnt look too shabby now, but this is the sort of things i wanna know thanks.

Those wheels & rear spoiler completely embarrass the car... The rims are made for someone from Coburg with an auto VL n/a 6 with neons and the back spoiler is for a GTR.

Put some gold forged BBS 18x10inch BBS's on it and take off the wing... and then keep it :blush:

Gold rims on a purple car?

I never intended to keep the rims, they were offered to me too cheap to refuse so i put them on intended to keep them only until i found something else i like then sell them for a profit, but i still havent found anything else that appeals to me & now thinkin of selling it i didnt see the point spending coin on new wheels. The wing i have no exscuse for tho .. i kinda like it, sorry :blush:

About $17K would be an OK buy from a buyers point of view.

Only because I know that I could probably make about $3K in selling the wheels, tvs, boot mounted nightclub and body kit.

which should be enough to have the car resprayed in a colour I would want with wheels I would preffer.

so in the end it would have cost me $17K to have a practical RB26 powered skyline with good mods.

I'm sure you would have spend over $15K more than that in getting the car where it is now..

and as you know, you will never get that back. not even close.

I have sold 3 skylines over the last 18months and the market for them os almost non existant nowdays. Absoloutly not intending to offend you but im telling you right now you will struggle to get $15K for that. Sell all the bolt on stuff seperate if you can be bothered and hope to get $12k for the car even with the RB26.

lol Club BOOT.. funny f**ker.. what time is it open till? admission costs?

yeah it's as gtst said.. you'll never get ur return.. nowhere near..

i spent over 35k on my VT making it something special and sold for not even half that.. funny part is you spend all this time doing it up.. when you finish is when you get bored of it :D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
